Reviews from customers

De software is erg snel en vindt de correcte boeken vrijwel direct op het moment dat de bar code gescand wordt. Zelfs Donald Duck pockets worden gevonden. Het kost een paar centen maar het werkt wel beter en vele malen sneller dan andere vergelijkbare apps die ik snel getest heb.

The app is accurate and provides a wealth of information on the scanned book. Perfect for a home schooling family.

Nice price with great support.

Easy to use and does everything you need to help keep those who read a lot from buying duplicates

I've used other cataloging software and this is the best. Easy-to-use interface; cataloging by ISBN is simple. And love being able to access my collection from all my devices.

Their portable database products gave evolved tremendously over the years. They are the most functional programs of this type out there.

If everything will be so easy for the next 90 books, I will pay for the Pro version!

Joy to use over 700 books indexed.

Just downloaded your Android Book App. Took 1 minute to buy and approximately 1 1/2 minutes to d/l and it works perfectly. All books floated in from the cloud and it is fast and accurate. An EXCELLENT product. Thank you and I appreciate how you mange your company and the products you deliver. Keep up the excellent work.

Great app for keeping tabs on your collection and wish lists. Highly recommended!

The last release has brought what I want in Android: stand alone app that can be synchronized with CLZ Cloud.

Il catalogatore più funzionale, fluido e bello che si possa trovare. E lo staff è disponibilissimo. Grazie CLZ.

I've been look for an iOS app for some time to keep a library of the books I've read, so when I'm in a store I can scan the database to see if I've already read it. Very frustrating to get home and find out I already have a copy. CZL solves that issue. The bar scanner is really fast and adding my whole library was done in 30 mins.

Awesome partner for desktop version. Sync using frèe cloud storage. Couldn't be more pleased. Thanks for your great work over the years.

Couldn't be happier with the ease of use with this app.

Perfect app.

We have found this program to be so helpful to catalog our book collection. The app is a great addition to the software. I am able to add books when I am away from my computer and sync it when I am able. It also helps me to keep from buying a book I already own when I'm out book buying. This has saved me money. The other thing I have used it for is to check where in my home library a book is supposed to be when we can't find it. The pictures are so helpful. I can enter the books on the software the way they are positioned on our shelves and then scroll through the pictures on the app on my iPad to see what shelf the book we're looking for is and what books it is in between. This has saved us so much time.

I have created so many different databases to manage my various media collections. CZ is by far the best and most thorough I have yet to use. Has the flexibility to add personalized fields and the cross platform functionality is awesome. I am hoping a windows mobile or universal app is on its way.

Tra tutte le applicazioni che ho provato per catalogare libri, questa è la migliore. Per una migliore catalogazione, insieme alla app per telefono, c'è il programma per pc che consente di integrare e fare ricerche nel dettaglio, gestire i prestiti etc etc... Consigliatissimi.

Scans barcodes quickly and accurately easy to navigate early days for me but so far all I hoped for.

I couldn't let this year end without telling you how pleased I am with Collectorz for Books. I am the "librarian" at Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation, one of scores of American non profits which memorialize our many Civil War battlefields. I paid for the program with my own funds, since CCBF operates on a shoestring, with most of our energy and funds going to our effort to preserve what many consider "sacred" land since it was drenched with the blood of our ancestors.

I deeply appreciate your unending quest to improve your already tremendous product without gouging your current customers to acquire the latest improvement, unlike some bigger companies I could name!
All the best in the new year. I'm glad I discovered you; it's made cataloging our numerous holdings ever so much easier!

This is a companion to what I have on my PC. It's great and keep me from buying duplicates.

Incredible program, simple to use and does exactly what I've searched for years for. Delighted with this.

I love having my database at my fingertips!

Works well and the price is right. I like it and use it constantly.

Thank you very much for the prompt email and the solving of the problem. I use both your Music and Book collector software and love it. I am always telling friends and family how good the software works and that they should use it if they need this kind of functionality.

Makes sure I know what books I have so I don't buy twice! Also lets me be in control of my library.

I have the CLZ Book Collector program on my PC, and sync my library to the cloud. I can then download my whole library onto the app, and have a handy reference for whether I already own a book or not. If I'm out and buy a book, I can add it through the app and sync it with my computer later. Fabulous!

Makes organising my library easy.

Just my collection of paperbacks but being able to sync so easily is awesome, haven't purchased any duplicate titles since Barry came out!!!

Fast, easy, dependable, beautiful format, nothing irritating, wonderful app!

Easy to use and keeps everything at the palm of my hand.

I've used the desktop version of this software for years and getting a portable version is just what I needed the syncing is great and they keep adding new features. I wouldn't use anything else!

Best investment a collector can make!

Every bookworm's friend.

Love the program. Keeps me from buying double or triple.

Fantastic app for book collectors!

Great for keeping track of my over 800 books.

I use it to keep track of what books I have, so that when I shop I know if an interesting book would be a new addition to my library. I find it easy to add books by scanning ISBN bar code on back cover or inside cover, which works for almost all books. Older books (~40+ yrs) that don't have recognizable ISBN, I search by author and title then select to add (still relatively easy). In very rare cases I've added a book manually and included the front cover picture that I took myself.

Love it.

Database software I have tried and I have tried them all. Works for both my books and my graphic novels.

The Android app scans the bar codes into the collection. It makes entering books quick and easy. The app is easy to use. If you can't remember if you have a book or if you it is on you wishlist, the app has a place for both catagories. This app is a must!

A tool that lets me keep track of the thousands of books I have hoarded over the years. When I scan a book in I am comfortable it will find it and get me the details i need. JC

I only bought and started using yesterday but have already been able to scan and add nearly 150 books! So far I am delighted. Thank you!

I listen/read a lot of books and the CLZ app allows me to search by author or title and sort the books im waiting to read.

Comprehensive and easy to use.

I've been using this program for many years. Outside of professional library databases this is the best product out there.

If you have a book collection then this app is second to none in keeping a comprehensive record of it. You must try it!

Tras usar otro catalogador, éste me resulta más práctico, sobre todo al usarlo en paralelo mac-ipad. Me gusta mucho que la base de datos del isbn (lo que más uso) sea más amplia y de acceso más libre. Algunos aspectos pueden pulirse un poco, pero globalmente he mejorado.

Avoids doubling up on books. A good database app.

Awesome update Alwin! Much more user friendly...and going to your website to add the unknown ISBN was a pain. Thanks for continuing to make the program better!

If you love to keep things organized this app is for you.

Love this app.

If you have a book collection and it is not easy to take the books to the Computer, you can take the database to the books.

Just started to use this app. Scanning of Isbn is easy and the speed of response is remarkable. Lots of customisation possible so no excuse for misplacing a book. Will probably end up paying the one off fee for use with more than 100 books.

After spending all weekend shelving & organizing my hardcover & softcover fiction, Spanish books, & poetry a Facebook friend recommended I check out this app. WOW! It will allow me to catalog my thousands of books. Once it is set up it's as easy as scanning the bar code & tapping a couple buttons. Then it sinks with site in the cloud. LOVE IT!

Lets face it, if something is good, like really good, its gonna cost something. I personally feel the 1 time cost to get unlimited space is so worth the money! And it's not even an arm and a leg cost. I love this app because im hoping to one day have Belles library from beauty and the beast so im gonna need not only a little more space but something to make sure im not doubling any of these books, and at just a little over 400 right now, i can say this app has definitely helped me avoid that!

The scanning & syncing/updating features are very efficient. Fields & notes for enriched personal listings if you need them and location & lending features that work well for a general user.

I've used CLZ software for years. With the apps I continue to see great software! Works well, easy to use and does the job.

The Book Collection Database seems really great with ISBN scanning on an Iphone.

This app is ideal for having my wish list with me when browsing the book store.

Very helpful in helping me keep track of my books! It is especially useful when I am discussing certain books with colleagues and friends and I can instantly, through a quick search, retrieve all of the book info right from my phone!

A very good tool to keep a list of books plus e-books.

I have been using Collectorz for several years because it does a great job. I wish it had more lookups like Calibre does but the UI of Collectorz is top notch!

The last release has brought what I want in Android: stand alone app that can be synchronized with CLZ Cloud.

Have scanned in my whole library! I love the bulk scanning feature. This is the only app I have seen with it.

I love that this app can keep track of my books.

Once I was taught by my daughter how to use, it's fantastic.

Greatest book collection library as I read many ePubs from the US Air Force Online Library. Keeps me from rereading books I have already read and helps me to select the next book I wish to read. Lot of PLUS PLUS BENEFITS in the program, sorting, logging info, etc.

Bietet alles was ich brauche um einen Überblick über meine Büchersammlung zu erhalten.

Now even better with the scanner!

I've been using Collectorz programs for years. They keep getting better. Solid product support and customisation options. Worth every penny.

Saved me hours on knowing which books I had. Now I can buy the ones I am missing and not the ones I have.

It's saved me time & money. A worthwhile tool.

An easily accessible system to prevent double ups coupled with simple addition of new books.

I love this application. Whether you have a book collection you want to want to catalog or just want to keep track of what you have read you can't beat it. Just scan the ISBN number and the app pulls in a ton on info on the book. You can create folders if you choose. Extremely useful.

This app put the end of buying a book twice!

We have an extensive collection of over two thousand cookery books. I have been searching for a way to catalogue these books for a number of years. What a revelation using CLZ app, having grappled with academic databases I was wary of the claims of all the different databases in the market place. I started using the CLZ app for the iPad and I became productive immediately and managed to catalogue 50 books in the first hour of using the app. Congratulation to CLZ team on a first class product that easily exceeded my expectations.

I have used the Collectorz software for many years on my PC and MAC. The use of their iPhone app has made the software even more valuable! I love knowing what I have in my library, or who has borrowed it right on my iPhone. I also love the fact that I can see my collection of music and movies in the palm of my hand. Good job guys! Keep up the good work!

Great for keeping a library organized.

I hesitated, there was only one review for the current version, and that was negative. I looked at older reviews, they were mostly positive but some noted significant limitations. E.g.: can't sort by title, hidden subscription cost, etc. But I got the limited version anyway and it looked good, very good. From the revision history the developer seems quite active. So I put my money down, hoping the problems would get sorted out eventually. . I've only had it for 24 hours but I can already see it was a good decision. All the problems noted in the old reviews seem to be fixed already (or maybe people hadn't known the features were there). You can even set a default location so that you can scan all the books in the dining room, for instance, and they will automagically have DR (or whatever you want to name it) as the location! . Caution: Don't forget to change the default location when you move to a different room - changing the location manually one book a a time is tedious. Maybe there's a batch change option, but I haven't found it yet.

Hele goede app die synchroniseert op alle apparaten en via de barcodescanner supereenvoudig invoert.

This is a great app for looking after a book collection. It is quick and easy to add most books (simply scan the ISBN or type in the book title).

App veramente utile per la gestione della propria collezione di libri. Ricco database con photo, informazioni complete, facile da usare.

Dear Team at CLZ,
I can not tell you how grateful I am with the whole process. My laptop crashed and I lost all my data on the database. Weeks and weeks of work was gone. I contacted your Team desperately and explained the issue. It was like a breath of a fresh air, what an experience, patience and professional experience I had. My issue was resolved within few days and I got all my data back.
I can not thank you guys enough. Special thanks to Sytske Hermans. I can not say enough great things really.
Thank you so much.

And getting even more perfect all the time... I have been using Collectorz apps for quite a few years now, and just wouldn't be without Book Collector. Having a version in my pocket helps me when I am trawling through the book markets, stores and charity shops, looking for books to add to my collection. It allows me to see if I have any of the ones that I find there, and what versions and covers are already in my collection; with the mad amount of books I have, it is very easy to get muddled up. :P

This is the best app i have tried when it comes to book database apps. It has everything, and it also has great support, they answer you quickly. I highly recommend this app. I have tried others, but they dont come close to this spp.

Very Well Designed!!

Just the right app to keep the book collection in perfect order.

Had an issue with the iaps but the devs fixed it very quickly. Great app. Highly recommended.

This is a great app, really helps me keep organized and ensures i I don't buy duplicate books!

Great help when you are looking and wonder if you have it.

Perfect cataloging tool!

I've used the desktop software for several years, just started using the app but it's great so far, very useful in managing my 7000+ books.

I'm horrible at remembering which books I already own, so this is always with me now.

Love CLZ Books. Keeps all my books organized and no more duplicate buying. They continue to upgrade their softwares and make innovative changes that enhance the programs both for PC and mobile. Bravo to the folks at CLZ.

I've been looking for something I could inventory my collection for awhile now. This is the first I've found that allows me to scan via ISBN and manage my collection via app or PC.

Love this app and recommend it to all the book lovers I know.

And very easy to use.

If you have a significant library you need an app to manage it, and this is the best I am aware of.

Excellent product, excellent support, works flawlessly ! Thanks !

Includes all features I would want and works well. Customer service has been very responsive and helpful.

Found all my books.

Some updated changes, such as being able to add stuff locally is very helpful. Love being able to see what I have quickly and easily.

As a retired librarian, I'm trying to get a database of my quilt books. This is such a fabulous tool! It's a must have if you're into cooling books like you do fabric!

The best thing ever to keep track of your books especially in the bookstore so you do not buy duplicates.

Just upgraded to version 4.3.1. Absolutely appreciate the update. It's intuitive like the other major apps (example: Evernote or Feedly). With every update I've been getting more control over my database. Thanks!!

Great app easy to scan books.

Great to refer back to books you've read and need a reminder of the plot ...

Merci pour cette mise à jour qui fait la différence par rapport aux précédentes. Du coup 5 étoiles.

Very good app.

This is a neat app. Easy to use keeping thing updated across my devices. Adding new books is quick by scanning or searching.

Perfect for my 3,000+ personal collection!

Carry your book collection in your pocket.

First and foremost, many thanks for the app. I find it quite useful, particularly when I'm shopping and am able to verify via my phone/the app if I already have a particular title in my collection!

Just What My Library Needed.

This makes organizing and lending out my books so much easier!

Have used the desktop version for years and really appreciate having a mobile app. Now have 4500+ books so really need help keeping track and avoiding duplication. Developers are constantly making improvements and are committed to their products.

Everything is wrapped into one application and IT Works!!!

This app is just what I needed to keep an inventory of all my books. Very user friendly. Good job!

This is an easy to use database. Have not explored all the features yet.

The app works really well and is very intuitive to use. I have a significant book collection and it has prevented me from buying duplicates and allowed me to purchase a book in better condition or a different edition. It is an essential app for any book collector.

I'm enjoying this app. No more trying to figure out if I have that book or not.

great app, especially for keeping up with what books you have.

Catalogued my library.

Great for tracking the thousands of books I have. Works great with Book Connector.

Looked up the Dewey system for me making it easier to organize my homeschool shelves.

Meget god dekning av norske bøker. Samspillet mellom PC og iPad dekkes godt av cloud. Fungerer godt for meg.

Indispensable.

Fantastic app, along with the other apps.

Ceci est de loin la meilleure application que j'ai trouvée pour indexer ma collection de livres. D'abord elle scanne les codes barre tres rapidement, l'application ne crashe pas (comme d'autres), l'app est rapide et ne ralebtit pas avec le nombre de livres (<1000), meme si toutes entrées ne sont entierement correctes, la plupart le sont. La reactivité est top et le design acceptable.

I have used this for some years and recommend it to others.

Anyone who collects books needs this app, while my collection grows, this app tracks my book library which helps me not buy duplicate books.

I use the CLZ Books and I love the software. To give you an idea how long I've been using it, before I updated my software to version 16 yesterday, my version was in the 7's.

Keep it so i always have a list of books ive read and don't pick up the wrong book! It s great for that.

I work in an old fashioned book store. A customer told me about this app so I had to check it out. There's a computer version & an iPhone/pad version. I'm not near a computer often but always have my iPhone w/me. I was able to add older books. If a picture of the cover doesn't load...I just took a picture w/my phone & edited into the book info. The customer service was wonderful. I didn't realize there was the computer version & a phone version. They refunded me so I could purchase the app. I travel a bit. Now I will never be at a shop w/a book on my hand wondering if I already had it. And if I ever had a fire, I would use this app for insurance purposes. I've already looked up a books in my personal collection for customers at the store. Ahhhh....life is good!

Have been using it for a couple years now.

Really helps me with my hard core crime collections.

I use the book collector and am going to get the movie one soon as while I don't have as many DVD's as books, it's getting to the point where I don't remember what I have and what I don't. I've printed out the book list and take it with me to booksales now to avoid duplicates.

Perfect tool for me to keep up with my ever growing collection and they are constantly improving it.

Easy cataloguing and multiple devices synced.

Plus je l'utilise et plus que je l'adore. En plus il est facile à utiliser.

An excellent log of all the books in your collection, and easy to search. It's nice that you can add books too through the app now.

I loveeee it.

Very useful app to keep track of my large book collection. Different publications of the same book can be chosen which allows for the same book to be entered many times, brilliant if you are collecting different versions of the same book. Easy to add books and sort through anyone's collection.

I downloaded a dozen or so book cataloging apps to try them out. Mostly, they went from bad to worse. CLZ Books was superlative: user-friendly, smart, fast, and intuitive. Keep up the good work!

The last release has brought what I want in Android: stand alone app that can be synchronized with CLZ Cloud.

This app for keeping track of my book inventory is great!!

After years of excel charts and graphs, this app comes along and makes it all easier! Top notch, Grade A, top shelf. Everything at the tip of my fingers for what I have and am trying to locate for my collection. Keep up the amazing work!

Very good way to track the books you have.

This is a wonderful app. It's perfect for my library. Having hundreds of books this app makes it super easy to scan books quickly. I can use my tablet or my pc and the data syncs quite fast and easily.

Phone with scanning screen in one hand, pulling out book enough to scan isbn with other hand, set aside problem barcodes for later (additional stickers, hardback books), very very easy. Great app. If it had worked at the end of a selfie stick - I wouldn't have needed a ladder - lol

Easy to use.

For nearly 4 years, the CLZ mobile apps have been the greatest extensions of their desktop counterparts. While usable standalone w/o the desktop application, their integration makes collection management nearly game like and oh so simple. If you have huge collections, find yourself with two or more copies of items, you owe it to yourself and your collections to check out their Movies, Music, Books, Games, and Comics collection management apps.

Been using this on multiple platforms and it has made my life so much easier!!!!

Meilleures appli ever pour tous les fans de lectures ayant une grande bibliothèque. Sa vous permet de voir en tout temps vos livres et de ne pas acheter deux fois le même. Je vous le recommande!!!

Very useful.

Great App. Have used company's App for years and each version is better than last.

Works well and the price is right. I like it and use it constantly.

Love the software..book collector...love the $2.50 monthly auto pay. For less than a 🍔 I can get every update you guys make to improve the software!!!

Thank you, thank you. All 180 books (in cloud, oops haven't synched my desktop in a while, shame shame on me) came in successfully. Greatly appreciated. You have a great evening and tell Alwin to take you out to dinner for being so awesome at supporting customers.
As always, you guys rock, and keep up the great work. Looking forward to renewing my subscriptions and trying out the new desktop app features very soon.

The CLZ Cloud saved me when my computer went down. I was able to keep my entire system going without having to redo all of my work.

Best way too know what books you own. Never worry about owning duplicate copy's again. It's amazing.

I use it to keep a list of all books read by and read to my homeschooled son. It is much easier to scan than fill in all the data by hand. It works good for my use.

Love that I can log all 810 of my books and know exactly what I have.

Excellent database of books. Easy to use. Improvements made since first purchased app have made it even better. Would recommend for large book collections.

CLZ Books gets better and better with each release. New features get added, enriching its capabilities. Equally important, annoying bugs get fixed, cleaning up the experience. I discovered the best way to create my own personal categories is to use Tags, and just ignore Genres and Subjects. That way I see a much cleaner listing of what I'm interested in. Until I figured this out, I was frustrated by the auto-populating of Subjects which overwhelmed my "categories".

The app I needed it!

This app works great to keep track of the books I have. It even helps with what I have in hard back vs paperback.

OOOMMMGGG!!!! You guys seriously rock!!! Yesssss!!!
Thank you so very very very much! If I were closer to your place, I’d bring you a box of chocolates so big, you could feed your staff for a year!

I bought Book Collector Pro Edition for my Mac and so far, it has been a godsend to someone like me who has about 3,000 books in my personal library. I also purchased a CLZ Barry to conveniently scan the books and add them to my collection. I’m getting more and more familiar with navigating the Book Collector and I'm having a blast with it!

Easy to use, very comprehensive.

FYI - program is great! I am frequently recommending it - especially at book sales.
Keep up the good work - yeah team!!!

This is an essential app for book collectors who want to manage their library.

Keep up the good work. The program is fantastic. It’s one I’ve been wanting for a while and looking for. Thanks much to all at Collectorz.com.

Joined with the web app is the best way to control my books and whishlist!

Wie auch alle anderen Apps von CLZ.

So far I've scanned 24 books very quickly. I like that you can continually scan books & then add everything at once to your collection. No crashing & it's visually pleasing seeing all the books with their cover art nicely displayed. No complaints so far.

I have been very happy so far with this app. I especially like the scanning feature that allows me to scan the ISBN instead of having to type each number in by hand. The cost to upgrade storage is on par with other apps and websites I have checked out.

Using this and their Movie and Music apps on Android and iOS as well as their Windows PC version. Clean and intuitive interface that's pretty consistent across the board. Web access and timely updates are a plus. VERY easy to use. While the database needs some cleanup, it's far superior to anything else I've seen. A real winner. I recommend it to others on a regular basis!

Excellent.

I love the attention to detail and the ease of entry by by scanning through my phone.

Reliable, often new and better features. Superb.

I showed the app to my 12 years old daughter and she immediately became a fan (she reads a lot).

Really easy to use and a great way to be able to create a Database for your personal library.

Great app for people with large book libraries.

Très bonne application. Bon suivi de l éditeur.

Eindelijk weet ik welke boeken ik bezit. Met de wish list welke boeken ik nog wil kopen en in welke versie. Heb in de iphone altijd alles bij de hand. Ook de scan funktie is super handig. Happy.

Great app ... so easy to catalogue my books scanning the bar codes. Works perfectly.

Better than ever!

I work in a public library and I use The CLZ Books to keep my personal book collection in it! So easy to add books and to filter. I really appreciate that I can assign tags once and CLZ Book Collector saves it for me in a drop down menu that I can choose from over and over again! Keep up the good work CLZ crew!

Just started using this app and it is great for what I wanted to do. I know it has many more features that I will be getting around to. But for now this app is great for me.

Absolutely love it and easy to use.

Just started with this but after two books got the hang of it. Have added eight books at this point and so far more than good. Needed this for a long time.

Have used it to manage our personal library of 3000 hardcovers.

I have a collection of several hundred books. Most of which are genealogy and history books. Many have similar titles. In addition to saving me money by preventing from buying a book that I already own, Book Collector provides me quick access to the contents of my books when I am trying to research an ancestor or historical event. The Notes Section allows me to add my own notes concerning a particular book. Also when someone ask me where I got a particular book, I able to tell them along with the price I paid. It obvious that a lot thought into the design of this program.

I'm using both the movie and the book apps. Just wonderful! So easy. Did all 1100 movie in just an hour and a half. Thank you!

This program continually exceeds my expectations.

Easy to track books, and in my case, avoid buying books previously read. By selecting 'Not in Collection', I can track books/ebooks borrowed from different libraries. Easy search function and same touch and feel as other CLZ apps which reduces learning curve though this app is pretty intuitive. Support is timely and spot on. I volunteer at my local library and recommend this app on a regular basis. Well worth the cost.

I have tried a number of apps to catalogue my book collection, and this one is the best I have seen. It has some minor things that could be better, but it's well worth the price. The support has been very good also, responding quickly when I had a question.
